This is the stuff that Max has found on copyright and the RIAA.
The RIAA has also brought lawsuits against children, some as young as 12.
After learning that one alleged copyright infringer had died, the RIAA offered the deceased man's family a period of sixty days to grieve the man's death before they began to depose members of his family for the suit against his estate
Copyleft is a play on the word copright and is the practice of using copyright law to remove restrictions on distributing copies and modified versions of a work for others and requiring that the same freedoms be preserved in modified versions.
Fair use is a doctrine in United States Copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review
You shall be authorized to use the Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
On the opening screen and any print materials, you must put a notice that "certain materials are included under the fair use exemption of the U.S. Copyright Law, have been prepared according to the educational multimedia fair use guidelines and are restricted from further use." (Walters, 1998)
Acknowledge all your sources with a bibliographic citation
Use only lawfully acquired copyrighted works or self-created works. Be very sure that any pictures, files or text you take off the Internet says that you may use it, or write the webmaster/author for permission.
Follow the 10% rule of thumb. Ask the librarian or teacher if you have questions about how much of a song, video, picture or poem you can use. You may not modify scanned images.
Use your project only for class work and show it only to the students in your class.
Only 2 copies can be produced for use. One copy can be saved in a portfolio.
Section 107 of the federal copyright law has four exemptions. All four must be considered when deciding if fair use is involved. The four exemptions are:
the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
The nature of the copyrighted work
The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work
The March 4, 2007 FoxTrot strip also satirized the RIAA's
lawsuits, where Jason tried to teach his iguana Quincy to
download music, because "it's one thing for them to go after
single moms, widows, grandmothers, dead people and
children... but sue an iguana?! That'd be insane!"
